I fish the majority of the year in the Portland, Oregon Metro area.  I mostly fish in the Columbia River by the Portland International Airport (15 mile stretch).  I also fish the Willamette River, which runs through downtown Portland.  So if you live in the Portland area or are visiting, it's a short drive to the dock to go fishing. 

In August  I offer trips for Salmon at the mouth of the Columbia River (Coast).  Then Trips at Tillimook Bay in October and November.   You can get directions to a boat ramp on the "Maps and Directions" page
